Cnroegle spells kissed "klst," but tho change creates no change In tho meth ods of going about the mattor. It Is qulto posslblo that oven tho President will forget occasionally and pell some of them the old way. Tho first movo of a spelling reform In Russia would be to tnko a cold chisel and knock off tho ski's and vltch's. Perhaps tho man who Invented seed less grapes will now produco water melons that will haro handles to carry them by. Never having used tobacco In any form, Ranker Hippie of Philadelphia might have lived to a ripe old age, had ho not committed sulcldo. Threatened with a kiss, an Oklahoma girl Jorkcd her head back suddenly and broke her neck. Tho moral of which Is In tho application thereof. Tho troublo Is til at after you have mastered tho reformed orthography of 800 words the reforinors will come long with 000 mora equally as bad. Scientists declare that tho Arctic Ice regions will extend until they annihi late our civilization. In other words, If wo do not get to the North Polo It will coino after us. A Chinaman has been arrested In Chicago for "mashing." Can thero bo nny further doubt concerning tho yel low man's advancement In tho wuys of civilization? Tho captain of tho American ship Dangaloro reports having seen an Ice berg nlno miles long and 800 feet high, but It Is too Into In tho year to arouso enthusiasm with a lie like that Nnturo always docs things about right. When she creates u mini with a weukness for putting his foot In his mouth, sho Invariably provides him with an udequuto breadth of mouth. Bomo newspapers aro so thoroughly prejudiced against Mr. Rockefeller that they coutluuuo to print bald-headed portraits of him, notwithstanding he lias gone to the expense of uurchuslug wig. Tho Wall Htreet Journal Is tho latest to follow James J, II 111 In teaching the farmer how to farm. It Is n good deal easier and more delightful for u man who doen not know a plow from r har row to tell how to do It than It Is do the came. I 3 As showing how tho human race has succeeded In climbing upward during the last hundred years It Is worth re calling that when General Plko discov ered the peak now bearing his name he aid no man over would be ublo to reach Its summit. Though the waste and suffering of the wars of the last halt century hare been terrible, they wore not without compensation. As a direct conioquence of some and Hn Indirect consequence of others, whnt wo regard as tho boncfl-' cent prluclplo of democracy has been Immensely promoted In Ituly, In 1'ranco, In Culm, and progress, wo may be suro, has been made (tosslble lu llnsslu. It Is not for merely soltlih reason that tho governments of the modem world are very cautious as to tho beginning of disarmament. Tho last generation has been remark able for Its development of colossal for tunes. It Is well within a reasonable estimate to say that the combined for tunes of six great capitalists of today, fortunes which have been the product of tho enterprise of the last thirty yearn, make a total of $1,100,000,000. In 1870 It would have been dllllcult to Jmvu discovered lu this country six pri vate fortunes which would have aggre gated fWO.OOO.OOO. This simple fact Is perhaps tho most striking Illustration which could bo given of tho extraor dinary growth of wealth lu tho United Htates In a few hands. It should not be forgotten, however, that the wealth of the country has lu the same time liu'reused from ?:t0,000,000.000 to JUH, 000,000,000, and the per capita wealth from ?770 to about Sl.'JBI. cause of his uniform, and Inclosing a check for f 100 toward tho expenses of tho suit, calls renewed attention to tho discussion which Is going on In the country over tho nttltudo manifested toward enlisted men In tho uniform of tho United States. When soldiers or sailors are on parade or when,, In time of public danger, they inarch to tho scene of war or press forward to pro tect persons or property, they win pub lic applauso. Thousands hove their emotions quickly stirred by tho sight of tho linos of blue and tho flying flags. It Is strange that the samo soldiers or sailors, when out of ranks mingling with their fellow citizens, often fall to receive the treatment accorded to the meanest civilian. The soldier In war hi u hero ; In peace, It sometimes seems as If no ouo wants him around. The President makes a trpng statement about tho personnel of"lho soldiers and sailors: "There Is" 'no 'finer body of men In all our country than the enlist ed men of the army and navy of the Unltod States, and I cannot sufficient ly express my Indignation and con tempt for any man who treats his uni form save with the'resptct to which It Is entitled." If all agreed with tho executive on this point 'thero would be no Insults offered to uniformed repre sentatives of army "aria vn'avy. There Is great difficulty In getting good men to Join tho army and nary. The "rough and tough" often, try to enlist, while men of fair common school education, physically qualified, are hard to get Tho requirement of enlisting officers aro sovore. Not'1 one-quarter of the men who apply are accepted. Among them aro some low grade; men so far as' personal habits go, but as a rulo they aro even In this respect up to tho avorago of citizenship. 8IJ, tho temp tations offered to them, owing to their jnoijo of llfo, aro trying and some of hen yield easily. It Is easy to show disrespect to tho uniform If the wearer of It forget his own obligation to It but this does not often happen. Tho avorago American seldom comes In con tact wlth.ftjSpldler or sailor. Ills opin ion Is likely to be adverse toward an enlisted jn.on becauso of slanderous stories hojifui heard or owing to popu lar notion,, folsoly entertained. For tho soldier. or sailor na a class he has llttlo regard, becauso ho knows little about life In the navy, except as he has read of It In the "tales for tho marines," and possibly does not believe lu a standing army. It Is not dllllcult for tho "plain citizen" to show lack of ro gard for tho uniform, oven though ho knows tho Wearer of It has sworn to preserve protect; and dofend tho con stitution and the country, If need bo. with tho sacrlflco of his life. With the new spirit In favor of a larger and bet ter army and nary must come more general respect for tho men who make them both respectable Tho attitude of tho President and admiral toward tho caso of tho sailor at Newport will havo great effect In creating a public sentiment opposed to discrimination against any worthy matt In the uni form of his country.

It Is shown that those struc tures, starting from the opposite shore and meeting lu the middle of tho river, liuvo been curried forward under tho river bed with such nccurucy that they will meet and lit Into each other with a variation of a sixteenth of nu Inch. In other words, hundreds of yard of sub terranean construction through mud tind water havo been traversed with practically no more variation front tho prescribed Hues than If they had Ikvu laid out on an open plain. Joined with this Is another record even more cred itable.

Stdo by side on tho southern border of this forost mouutaluland, rising over 4,000 feet out of tho valley beneath, stand as sturdy, silent sentinels Hound Top and High Peak the latter so graphically described by Cooper's Lcutherstocklng In "The Pioneers." Halfway up tho northern slopo of these twin guardians, from the rustic veran da of ono of tho urtlstlc mountain homes within tho routines of the re stricted residential districts of Sunset, Santa Cms and Twilight parks, look ing out over thick branching tree tops, nature's color schemo presents a never cvaslug change. Beginning with eurly morn, looking eastward through tho clovo across tho valley of tho Hudson to where tho sun gradually wheels his broad disk up from behind tho bold sky-lino of tho Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts, mul through out tho midday, when tho picturesque play of thick cuiuuIouh clouds presents unceasing attraction, as their soften ing shades silently creep from peak to peak, until, at fading eve, out through tho glen westward appear silhouetted against tho sky, massive banks of hint ing tires, n dazzling prelude to the mellow afterglow of tho declining god as he passes out over the threshold of another day.
